Understanding Internet Delay and Loss

1. Chapter 1: roadmap 1.1 what is the Internet? 1.2 network edge end systems, access networks, links 1.3 network core packet switching, circuit switching, network structure 1.4 delay, loss, throughput in networks 1.5 protocol layers, service models 1.6 networks under attack: security 1.7 history Introduction

2. How do loss and delay occur? packets queue in router buffers packet arrival rate to link (temporarily) exceeds output link capacity packets queue, wait for turn packet being transmitted (delay) packets queueing(delay) free (available) buffers: arriving packets dropped (loss) if no free buffers A B Introduction

3. Four sources of packet delay dproc: nodal processing check bit errors determine output link typically < msec transmission A propagation B nodal processing queueing dnodal = dproc + dqueue + dtrans + dprop dqueue: queueing delay • time waiting at output link for transmission • depends on congestion level of router Introduction

4. Four sources of packet delay transmission A propagation B nodal processing queueing dnodal = dproc + dqueue + dtrans + dprop dtrans: transmission delay: • L: packet length (bits) • R: link bandwidth (bps) • dtrans= L/R dprop: propagation delay: • d: length of physical link • s: propagation speed (~2x108 m/sec) • dprop = d/s dtrans and dprop very different * Check out the online interactive exercises for more examples: http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/interactive/ * Check out the Java applet for an interactive animation on trans vs. prop delay Introduction

5. Caravan analogy cars “propagate” at 100 km/hr toll booth takes 12 sec to service car (bit transmission time) car ~ bit; caravan ~ packet Q: How long until caravan is lined up before 2nd toll booth? time to “push” entire caravan through toll booth onto highway = 12*10 = 120 sec time for last car to propagate from 1st to 2nd toll both: 100km/(100km/hr)= 1 hr A: 62 minutes 100 km 100 km ten-car caravan toll booth toll booth Introduction

6. Caravan analogy (more) suppose cars now “propagate” at 1000 km/hr and suppose toll booth now takes one min to service a car Q: Will cars arrive to 2nd booth before all cars serviced at first booth? A: Yes! after 7 min, first car arrives at second booth; cars still at first booth 100 km 100 km ten-car caravan toll booth toll booth Introduction

7. R: link bandwidth (bps) L: packet length (bits) a: average packet arrival rate Queueing delay (revisited) average queueing delay traffic intensity = La/R • La/R ~ 0: avg. queueing delay small • La/R -> 1: avg. queueing delay large • La/R > 1: more “work” arriving than can be serviced, average delay infinite! La/R ~ 0 La/R -> 1 * Check online interactive animation on queuing and loss Introduction

8. “Real” Internet delays and routes what do “real” Internet delay & loss look like? tracerouteprogram: provides delay measurement from source to router along end-end Internet path towards destination. For all i: sends three packets that will reach router i on path towards destination router i will return packets to sender sender times interval between transmission and reply. 3 probes 3 probes 3 probes Introduction

10. Packet loss queue (aka buffer) preceding link in buffer has finite capacity packet arriving to full queue dropped (aka lost) lost packet may be retransmitted by previous node, by source end system, or not at all buffer (waiting area) packet being transmitted A B packet arriving to full buffer is lost * Check out the Java applet for an interactive animation on queuing and loss Introduction

11. Throughput throughput: rate (bits/time unit) at which bits transferred between sender/receiver instantaneous: rate at given point in time average: rate over longer period of time pipe that can carry fluid at rate Rsbits/sec) pipe that can carry fluid at rate Rcbits/sec) server sends bits (fluid) into pipe link capacity Rsbits/sec server, with file of F bits to send to client link capacity Rcbits/sec Introduction

13. Throughput: Internet scenario per-connection end-end throughput: min(Rc,Rs,R/10) in practice: Rc or Rs is often bottleneck Rs Rs Rs R Rc Rc Rc 10 connections (fairly) share backbone bottleneck link Rbits/sec * Check out the online interactive exercises for more examples: http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/interactive/ Introduction
